Xmas holiday”
Hotel is in a great location just out of the main bars and shopping area of Chaweng Beach. We stayed on the hill side which was quiet. Room was big and comfortable. Very clean. Breakfast was good with lots of choice. The pool on the hill side was quiet and refreshing. It was only a short walk to the beach side where the pool, restaurant and bar area are very good. A few steps to the beach with stunning views of the beach front. Would definitely stay again

Nice beach area”
The hotel is located near to the airport, less than 10 min drive. Breakfast area is just beside the beach, where you can enjoy the nice beach view. It is about 5 to 7 min drive to Chaweng town. If you prefer to walk, it will take about 40 min to an hour. Take songthaew - the cheapest public transport option at THB 50 per person. The staff is very friend and helpful, you will be well taken care of :)

Very good”
Novotel samui is definitely a wonderful.property but it has pros and cons. Pros- wonderful staff, especially Ms.Ann was really helpful. All the requirements were met quickly. The pool was amazing where we stayed. Breakfast was good The rooms were spacious with balcony,huge washrooms. Cons-very less vegetarian food options Lots of mosquitoes,insects. Beach area was dirty. No door in washroom. And i really would like to ask, why have painted an elephant with zebra stripes? Lol. Its really funny. My trip was wonderful, all thanks to the nice and coirteous staff.

Nice location and view. some staff are very friendly and helpful but some aren't. its good if the hotel can improve their breakfast selection during off peak season as well.

Quiet and not too far from shops and night life. ”
Stayed here for four nights in the cheaper garden side the hotel. Rooms are big but dated. Breakfast is average so you aren’t missing out. The swimming pool towards the beach end is good and clean. Note: if you are disabled or have very young children that require a wheelchair or pushchair than it isn’t very friends as lots of steps.

Worse Novotel ever”
We are group of families with young children and booked 3 of their family rooms. The air condition in that whole block didn’t work and we had to move at 10pm at night. The next day one the room’s bathroom was leaking and was once again asked to move rooms. Breakfast is very bad, everyday they serve the same thing. Its fine if they serve the same thing and it takes good but none of the food taste good at all.

Flies over the buffet dishes with no reaction from staff upon drawing their attention. ”
Rooms are poorly designed and poorly lit. Not only not worth the money but not worth a beach holiday.

Kandaburi during end of low-season”
We stayed at the end of the low season. The room was fantastic. The staff met us at the lobby and we were offered a cold towel and a nice drink before being shown our room. If you are in the deluxe rooms you are set off from the beach by the main road in Koh Samui. It's no more than a minute's walk to the front of the hotel and the beach. The pools are excellent. In general, getting around in Koh Samui is a trial, so make sure you stay close to the attractions that brought you to the island. If it's a great beach that is close, but not too close, to the party scene, North Chaweng is the way to go.

Great hotel at a good last minute price”
This was our first trip to Koh Samui. We needed to find somewhere to stay for 5 nights after treating ourselves to a 5 star resort for the first 3 days of our trip. We walked next door and found this hotel with its beautiful pool and friendly service. We looked up this hotel and got it for a ridiculously cheap price which included breakfast. The rooms were huge, the staff were friendly and helpful, the pools were big and beautiful and very easy to spend the day by. The hotel was only a short walk from the main beach and shopping area and had everything we needed. we would definitely stay here again for that price and would recommend it to friends.

new and friendly hotel”
This was our first time in Koh Samui and we chose this hotel according to the reviews of Agoda users. The hotel was clean and new, the room was spacious and our 3 year old kid enjoyed the stay as much as we did. The pool was nice, with jacuggi, and the beach in front of the hotel was very shallow, which was good for our small daughter. She also enjoyed going up and down many stairs from and to the reception and the restaurant, though it could be tough to some people. The hotel is very close to the airport and in a good distance from the center. We took the shuttle bus for shopping and dining, and when we stayed at hotel we appreciated the quietness.

Peaceful and Serene Abode”
The Hotel/Resort was very beautiful with very spacious rooms and an excellent location next to the beach. Although we didn't use much facilities of the resort, as we were generally outside exploring Samui, but We will definitely miss the morning breakfast and swimming. The only problem I faced was communicating with the staff over the phone, as they don't understand English. Otherwise, the stay was very comfortable and We had an amazing experience holidaying in Koh Samui!

A Spectacular Hotel!”
One of the best hotels I've stayed at in Thailand. Exceptional rooms, great service, private beach. This hotel room's bathroom is awesome too. Sure the food and drink are a little pricey, but that's Samui for ya! It's worth it. Samui is paradise and this hotel fits into that category. We loved this hotel and Koh Samui! Free shuttle to town at 11, 13, 21 hours too.

Great Hotel”
staying in the hotel was really nice, i spent seven days and did not face any issue with them, the staff is well trained, nice and clean beach, two swimming pools. it is located at the end of Chaweng main center away from the busy streets which was nice and relaxing, you might consider renting a bike though... i guess i will use that hotel every time i visit Koh Samui.

Kanda Buri Resort and Spa - 6 STAR!”
Saumui's Kanda Buri Resort and Spa is one of the best hotels along the Chaweng Beach strip. Although at the very northern tip of the strip, and not in the middle of the action, it is still well located, on the quiet end of the beach. The hotel rooms are out of this world, and all have views. The hotel is divided into two portions - beachside and across the street is another large building. We stayed across the street and it was no inconvenience at all. In fact, a lot of Samui hotels are set up this way (waterfront property is prime real estate, afterall). The buffet breakfast supplied each day was awesome! We left full every morning. The pools in this hotel are clean, huge and beautiful. We would definitely visit this hotel again, and having been home for only one day, we have already talked another couple into staying there on their trip!

Beautiful hotel, great location and staff ”
I stayed as a group of 4 female friends in our 20's. The hotel is fabulous, staff polite and helpful upon arrival. It is only a short distance from the airport if you get a taxi from Samui airport. We had 2 rooms on the hillside part of the hotel. The rooms are very large, especially the bathrooms! One small problem with the air con leaking but staff were quick to attend and resolve this. Buffet breakfast is lovely with a great choice. The concierge arranged several trips for us and also some dinner reservations, always happy to help and get the best for you. We ate lunch several times at the poolside by the beach, great location, great choice of food, reasonably priced. The beach is beautiful although if you arrive later in the day you are unlikely to get a sun lounger in the sun. Walk along the beach for lots of Thai massage on the beach for reasonable prices and restaurants on the beach. You can walk into town, nicer to go along the beach or the hotel run a free bus every hour. In summary an excellent hotel, brilliant facilities and beautiful setting.

Fantastic Honeymoon at Kandaburi”
My husband and I have just returned from a fantastic honeymoon in Ko Samui. We stayed for two weeks at the Kandaburi resort and were very satisfied. We had a deluxe room on the third floor. The room was beautiful and looked just like the pictures I had seen on the hotel’s website. I was a little bit nervous as this was our first booking through Agoda, which saved us a lot of money, but I was worried that we would be treated like 2nd class guests since we had paid so much less than the price listed on the hotel's own website. However, the hotel treated us just like any other (full-paying)guests. We were given welcome drinks upon arrival, and our room was specially decorated with rose petals etc. About an hour after arriving a bottle of champagne and a cake were sent up to our room, complements of the hotel (because it was our honeymoon.)(I had told the Agoda travel agent in advance that this was a honeymoon booking.) The breakfast buffet was very good, even by Swedish standards! We never did try the hotel’s restaurant as we usually had our dinner on the beach. (The beachfront is lined with restaurants.)

Great Resort for a Great Price”
I booked a room without ever having been to Koh Samui and unsure of what the location would be like. My experience at Kandaburi was amazing and I know exactly where I will stay on my next trip. Keep up the good work, it is truly a 4 star resort at a 2 star price. Great hotel.

Paradise!”
Our stay at this hotel was thoroughly enjoyable. We will definitely stay there again, particularly in mid-late January as it was not too crowded. I would thoroughly recommend this resort to families or couples who are looking for a relaxing,luxurious holiday destination. We can't wait to go back! We have stayed at Kata Beach in Phuket several times, but Kandaburi Resort in Koh Samui is so much better!
